Wasn't going to play the Inferno card. Ooh, those complex story-lines & star-stuffed casts.
I recall being fairly young and planning ahead with family to see that one. It meant going to our then new and very unfamiliar multi-plex with the expensive popcorn. (later to become an A-dult cinemAh) "Hey, what's deep throat?"
I still think of Allen flicks as the first blockbusters though there's probably someone here who's thinking the same thing about DeMille.
